A new tool for maps of solar energy in the Philippines shows that the solar capacity of the country on the roof is more than 1.8 GW. The makers say that the platform can be used to follow non -registered solar cloth capacity. July 17, 2025 Patrick Jowett A new tool for the maps of Zonne -Mapping has calculated that the Philippines have more than 1.8 GW of solar capacity on the roof. The Estimation of the solar energy of capacities and tracking using Machine Learning (Spectrum) Tool, developed by the Quezon City established Institute for Climate and Sustainable Cities…
Cero Generation and Enso Energy connected the first solar-plus storage facility last year in the UK Transmission Network when they started (depicted) with the 49.5 MW/99MWH BESS facility with the 70 MW Larks Green Solar Plant. Image: Enso -Energy / Cero generation. Cero Generation and Enso Energy have together achieved financial closure on a 360 MW Zonne-Plus storage portfolio of projects in the UK. The portfolio consists of three projects for solar and battery energy storage systems (BESS), one of which is the 115 MW Co-located Bramley Project, located in the southern English Graafschap Hampshire. This project is the first…

The government company Clean Energy Company Great British Energy has awarded mayor authorities a total of £ 10 million in subsidy finance for clean energy for community services. According to the government, the regulations funded by GB Energy can lead to a total of around £ 35 million in savings on energy bills. Due to the subsidies, Zonne -PV on the roof will be installed on buildings such as libraries and care homes in the…
The first energy storage of Argentina drew 1,347 GW of bids from 15 companies propose 27 projects that exceed the objective of 500 MW and represent more than $ 1 billion in dedicated investments. July 17, 2025 Pilar Sánchez Molina Image: Maurício Guardiano, Unsplash By ESS News This week, the Argentinian government opened the bids for its Almagba -on -Committee process. The international tender, announced for the first time in February, intended to secure 500 MW of energy storage capacity For critical points in the Grid of Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (Amba). In a strong tones of interest, 15 companies…
The prices of PV modules have fallen by approximately 5% to 8% in all technological classes in recent weeks. says Martin Schachinger, the founder of PVXCHANGE.COM. This means that prices are going strongly to the level that we have seen at the beginning of the year, which can only be described as unhealthy for module producers. July 17, 2025 Martin Schachinger, pvxchange.com By PV Magazine Germany Although the Modulemarkt in June only showed marginal, non -ambitious movement, a clearer trend now takes shape. The prices started to fall after a short stabilization phase – falling by approximately 5% to 8%…
The top court of Germany has ruled that operators of distribution network projects may have to pay of battery storage projects to pay grid connection costs, whereby the costs are mentioned fairly, because they help prevent overbuilding and protection consumers of surplus system costs. July 16, 2025 Sandra Enkhardt By ESS News The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) of Germany in Karlsruhe has confirmed the legality of grid connection payments for battery storage systems. This decision of the cartel -Saat was already expected after oral arguments that were heard a few weeks ago. The Karlsruhe judges ruled that the Federal…
The European Patent Office says that in the last 15 years, China has overtaken other countries in photovoltaic patent applications, while European startups and universities are maintaining a lead in Agrivoltaics and Niche Solar applications. July 17, 2025 Patrick Jowett The Observatory of the European Patent Office about patents and technology says that innovation in PV has grown more than seventeen over the past three decades. The technological insight of the office report Analyzes trends in 30 technologies for five decades. It includes 340,000 inventions, including 70,000 international patent families (IPFs) about photovoltaic materials, photovoltaic devices, the management of these…
General Motors has drawn a non-binding memorandum of understanding with battery recycler in Nevada Redwood -Materials Intended to speed up the implementation of energy storage systems using both new Batteries of GM and Second Life Batteries from GM-Electric vehicles produced by the US. Redwood -Materials “The market for raster scale batteries and backup power is not only expanding, it will be an essential infrastructure,” said Kurt Kelty, VP of batteries, propulsion and sustainability at GM. “The demand for electricity is climbing, and it is only going to accelerate. To take on that challenge, the US needs energy storage solutions that…
The German authorities have selected 118 MW projects of a total of 255 MW in the latest PV -opposing on the roof. July 17, 2025 Sandra Enkhardt By PV Magazine Germany The Federal Network Agency of Germany (Bundesnetzagentur) has published the results of the tenth tendering of the country for PV projects on the roof, ranging in size from 300 kW to 1 MW. The agency rated 127 bids with a total capacity of 274 MW and selected 118 projects, a total of 255 MW. The final prices varied from € 0.0690 ($ 0.0799)/kWh to € 0.1038/kWh. The final average…
Financing remains one of the biggest points (BESS) of Battery Energy Storage Systems, as bankability, risk reduction, insurance and more. July 17, 2025 Marian Willuhn Image: Marian Willuhn, PV Magazine By ESS News Although a quick poll during the opening session of the Battery Business & Development Forum 2025 suggested that financing is no longer seen as the biggest obstacle for the implementation of the battery storage, the session “Bankability and financing in the context of Bess” attracted a lot of interest. The room was too full, with those present along the walls to hear fields of speakers and a…
